We are looking a purchasing a new car in the near future, specifically either a Malibu or an Accord.
As a USAA member, I have been playing around with the USAA car buying service powered by "True Car". There seems to be a large discount off of new car MSRP prices.
My question is this, what is your experience using this tool to get the best possible lowest price on a new vehicle? How likely is it to present the certificate to a dealer and still negotiate an even lower price?
The tool works like this, you are given a price and you print off a certificate directing you to a certain dealer who is supposed to honor the certificate. You can also take the certificate to a different dealer to see if they will honor the certificate.
Here is what I'm looking at
2015 Malibu LS $20,451 with a MSRP savings of $3114.
2015 Accord LX $21,246 with a MSRP savings of $2479.
